ari101

Tonight we'll find out if you know your Cyan from your Cerulean, your Ecru from you Eggshell, and if you avoided the rainbow mines...

Join us at 7pm to find out the answers to the following questions...

Were our players inspired by flowers?


Or were animals on their mind?


And will I have need of this gif...?

I did enter this initially, before rereading the OP and realising it wasn't allowed

the purple tin

Just reading that OP makes me think I have made multiple boobs
Colour me nervous.

I realised the other day how terrible my D answer was, but didn't bother changing it. I didn't look any further for fear of seeing any more

I hope we ready and roaring to reveal some colourful sheep...



Perhaps also for an education in bridal shades (or maybe a trauma trigger for those of you already married ) and maybe to feel hunger rise as we go

FYI: I'll be posting score sheets intermittently, more frequently as we get to the end, these posts will be long enough anyway! :pac:

Only time will tell if that was a silly or a sensible number, and if they were the right ones :eek:

Kicking us off...

Are you a Barbie girl?



Or maybe a magpie?



Or just determined to make me hungry

I didn't know there were more than 2.

Aqua and aquarmarine have been grouped, as the actual colours (while marginally different) are definitely going to seem the same to people who think there is only one shade of white. And well I didn't want to discriminate!
(Disclaimer: neither first place nor the wooden spoon are affected by this grouping choice!)

A fairly split decision, two medium sheep (like not the really really fat ones)!
A few stragglers - are they starting as they mean to go on, or is there hope or them yet?

HeidiHeidi

Phew!



A vaguely respectable start.


All downhill from here....

ari101

B

Well there were only two options here...





But then maybe a basic colour is not good enough and you want to live on the wild side...

ari101

And our first massive sheep... *looks at other three... :rolleyes:
Even you Omack - haven't we agreed Brown is not a flag colour...

Beaver??? :eek:

C

So I made three suggestions - did any of them sheep?

Chinese (minus the blue, but it is a really lovely shade)



Cyan



Cerulean

KathleenGrant

I didn't take your suggestions seriously.

:pac:

Is Beaver a Crayola crayon color?
The hexadecimal color code #926f5b is a shade of orange. In the RGB color model #926f5b is comprised of 57.25% red, 43.53% green and 35.69% blue. In the HSL color space #926f5b has a hue of 22° (degrees), 23% saturation and 46% lightness.

Mam of 4

Oh....

I thought we had to name colours with saying red black blue etc etc .
Yes Beaver is a brown colour ..Wikipedia told me so .

The rest of my answers are just as obscure. .

Can I have the spoon now please?

ari101

Cyan it is, out of the gap in the fence like any good sheep...
Lots of good well known choices here, but maybe I led ye by the nose to this one

I was proud of that one when I sent it in. Obviously proud on my own

ari101

D

It was a very dark round
But did the darkness prevail, did it Chewbacca, or were we feeling more sunny...



Or perhaps a fashion faux pas caught our attention?

jluv

Nearly changed to crimson. So glad now I didn't!
Beaver never entered my head though Mam:D

ari101

This is where I had my Priests' Socks gif all lined up, but EN has already revealed his realisation

I wanted more Dun, thank you purple tin because I really would have liked the colour of this cutie to sheep:
